Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecología
marino asociado a arrecife; rango de profundidad 0 - 53 m (Ref. 58047). Subtropical
Southwest Atlantic: endemic to the region.
Tamaño / Peso / Age
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 5.6 cm SL macho / no sexado; (Ref. 80496)
On several occasions, this species was observed being aggressive towards other Blenniidae species and fighting with them for shelter (Ref. 80496). Oviparous. Eggs are demersal and adhesive (Ref. 205), and are attached to the substrate via a filamentous, adhesive pad or pedestal (Ref. 94114). Larvae are planktonic, often found in shallow, coastal waters (Ref. 94114).
